You could say that about any fan base though. Were you here when Edge and Eurogamer gave MGS4 an 8? The reaction was hysterical.

Oh yes, I don't mean to say Zelda is the only one, any fanbase that typically has universal critical acclaim getting anything less then a 9 is funny to watch. I'm sure the Uncharted 3 thread, for example, is gonna be a real "joy" to read once Jim Sterling depants it or GameTrailers give it a "low" grade of, 8.5 or some shit.

Like there's any chance Gametrailers are gonna give Uncharted less than a 9.5.

It happened with UC2, and the guy reviewing UC3 is all "wahh nothing original about UC2, overrated"

Its funny that we're even having this discussion though. Instead of scoring a 95, you got a 93. STOP THE DAMN PRESSES, THERE MUST BE A MISTAKE HERE, FIX THIS SHIT GUERILLA

Wow, that sounds amazing.
Haha. That was a great piece of music for the most bullshit part of the game, made even more bullshit because the first time I played through it, I didn't realize that you could stun the Gerudo with arrows until I read it in an FAQ. What's hilarious is that I completely forgot about this when I replayed the 3DS version so I was beyond frustrated until I yet again read it in an FAQ.

Yeah, I'm tired and english isn't my first language. Yada yada. What I meant was if anyone know when we will see reviews all over the net.

Also, will the Edge review be available on their site. The magazine is kinda expensive.
Should be available the same day the magazine is out.

Repeated my Edge comparison for ONM, although some of the games in the list ONM hadn't reviewed so I removed them (I guess ONM either didn't review GBA/GCN/N64 games or Metacritic didn't index them? Yeah, look, Feb 2006 first publication):
Yeh, ONM is it exists now, didn't back in those days. :)
 
Now that Destructoid gave Kirby a 10, what's the chance that people will jump at their necks if they give Skyward Sword even a 9.9?
 
On the other hand, Nintendo releasing 2 games with a perfect 10 in less than a month would be pretty impressive.

When you consider the staggering drought that preceded them, not really. :)

Anyway, back to Batman.
 
Seriously, though, Destructoid can't give Skyward Sword anything other than a 10, else they'll feel the wrath of the crazies.

Depends on if it's the same reviewer.

Then again, lol Destructoid.

I'm sorry but is a 10 the new trend here? really it lost everything it was supposed to be.

I bet they won't give SS a 10 just to cause a shitstorm.

shitstorm=hits

Destructoid reviews have been pure trolling for a while now. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they gave it a 1/10 just to stir up controversy.

I've listened to that Zelda E3 thing like at least once a day since E3. It's amazing.

I don't think my skin should be melting off my face but that's what's happening atm

My favorite part is the Twilight Princess Hyrule field bit at ~3:00-3:30, especially at 3:15, before it segues into some Skyward Sword tunage.

Damn it to hell, I need to finish Xenoblade stat. I got my LE pre-ordered and paid, C"mon damnit! Media blackout on this game is doing me wonders.

And I have Kirby and BF3 coming in next week. And SM3DL, MW3, and Skyward Sword? These next two months are going to be motherfucking glorious.


I don't know how I'd manage this wait for SS without Xenoblade.

Xenoblade, SS, and Kirby are going to be my last three big games for the year. Everything else is retro stuff or fighters.

What was the 10 for Kirby then? A way to enrage the dudebros?
